Hi,
Bupropion is available in the UK in the form of Zyban. It is approved for smoking cessation but not depression. Psychiatrists do not use it, it is generally considered to be a very dangerous drug in the UK. It has recieved a LOT of bad press. Only a very small minority of UK pdocs ever prescribe stims. There is this dumb idea that they are only safe in children.
If, like me, you suffer from hypersomnia, poor concentration, poor attention, fatigue, low motivation etc. They want to give you an SSRI! They don't even accept that SSRIs can worsen/cause drowsiness and amotivation.
My life is a mess.
Regards,
Ed.
